Offense

It looked like the offense did not get off the plane during the first half, when it totaled just 57 yards. The Jets played better in the second half, but it was still a dismal effort. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (19 of 39, 216 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 1 rushing TD) threw two interceptions in the final three minutes to ice the game. WRs Brandon Marshall and Devin Smith both had big drops in the game. The team only had 70 yards rushing, with 23 coming on one play. It was an all-around bad day … again.

Grade: D

Defense

The Texans came into this game with their third-string quarterback, a backup running back and not much hope. The vaunted Jets’ defense folded again and had no answers for Houston’s creative offensive game plan. DeAndre Hopkins (5 catches, 118 yards, 2 TDs) owned Darrelle Revis. Cecil Shorts III (1 passing TD, 4 rushes for 26 yards, 2 catches for 51 yards) gave the Jets fits. Antonio Cromartie gave up another huge play.

Grade: F

Special teams

This unit got through a game without any major errors, a huge plus for the struggling group. Cromartie had a 39-yard kickoff return and punter Ryan Quigley averaged 45.5 yards on his eight punts. Kicker Randy Bullock made a 40-yard field goal in his return to Houston.

Grade: B

Coaching

Todd Bowles got out-coached badly in this game by Bill O’Brien. The Jets looked listless in the first half and that reflects on Bowles. Chan Gailey showed no creativity or adjustments as the Texans’ defense dominated the Jets early in the game. Bowles needs to figure this out before the season spirals out of control.
